I've been thinking about since Hecatia was introduced actually

She definitely has enough source material for ZUN to draw from, but what would her spell cards look like? If she stays war themed, It would be neat to see ZUN take a crack at a more martial sounding theme.

But most importantly how would ZUN make her helmet look more silly?

Hercules could show up

As Buddhism expanded in Central Asia and fused with Hellenistic influences into Greco-Buddhism, the Greek hero Heracles was adopted to represent Vajrapāni.

In Japan, Vajrapāni is known as "the head vajra-wielding god" (執金剛神 Shukongōshin?), and has been the inspiration for the Niō (仁王?, Benevolent Kings), the wrath-filled and muscular guardian gods of the Buddha, standing today at the entrance of many Buddhist temples under the appearance of frightening, wrestler-like statues. He is also associated with Acala (不動明王 Fudō-myōō?); the mantra for Fudō-myōō references him as the powerful wielder of the vajra.

Vajrapani is the protector and guide of the Buddha Sakyamuni.

You forgot the time she turned her own disciple into a monster because said disciple was raped.
